7:00 am
good morning, america. breaking overnight. how safe is your airport? new government documents show several security breaches a day, 25,000 since 9/11. the outcry this morning, that we are still vulnerable to attack. new this morning, a major announcement for every parent tired evidence chicken finger and mac 'n' cheese. american restaurants cutting down on calories. will they eat oranges and pineapple instead of fries. who is stalking halle berry? their suspect tried to break into her home three times in three days. face to face with halle in her own house. the shark strikes back. imagine reeling in one of the ocean's most dangerous predators and then get yanked under water.
7:01 am
one-on-one with the shark all caught on tapepe there is just video of everything these days. >> i was thinking the same thing. cameras are everywhere. >> everywhere, even in the face of a shark. we'll get to that but a lot of breaking developments this morning. this debt crisis in washington is getting very scary. the speaker of the house warning of economic problems and president obama for the first time saying that social security recipients in august may not receive their checks. >> and that got everybody's attention. >> it sure did. a leading medical journal raising eyebrows, this morning, get this, should extremely obese children be taken from their parents for their own good and placed in foster care? that coming out as many of the
7:02 am
biggest chain restaurants are getting ready to overhaul kids' menus. we'll talk to dr. b. >> we're still thinking of that at the home run derby. keith carmickle, out on the ledge, reaching for the home run. he fell and saved. his brother grabbed him, friends saved him. what was he doing on that ledge in the first place? the brothers are here with us this morning. we are going to ask them and, you know, keith does say he e h learned his lesson. >> certainly. so he caught three balls going for four and people are trying to make comparisons to what happened in texas with the firefighter there at the game and don't know if you can do that. that would be different. >> quite different but echo such a sad -- such a sad moment, that rangers game. >> woof we've got a busy morning. the stunning report about security at the nation's airports. new numbers from the federal government showing that there have been more than 25,000 security breaches in the past decade. abc's lisa stark is in washington with the latest. lisa? >> reporter: good morning, robin. well, billions have been spent on aviation security since the
7:03 am
9/11 attacks, and critics worry that these latest numbers show that we still have a ways to go to ensure that our skies are safe. the lapses occurrereat security checkpoints with the screening of checked luggage and there were breaches of airport perimeters. according to the documents from the transportation security administration itself, some 14,000 people managed to get into secure areas of airports. it happened at newark last year. a lovesick boyfriend snuck through a security exit to bid his girlfriend good-bye. thousands of passengers had to be rescreened. and there were 6,000 cases where passengers and carry-on luggage were not screened or not screened properly. >> there are still despite the expenditure of $20 billiononlus since 9/11 lots of security gaps that remain in aviation. >> reporter: this report comes as a stun gun was discovered sunday on a jetblue flight from
7:04 am
boston to newark. last month a nigerian-american got on to a flight without a proper ticket or identification. and in december, a loaded high-powered glock like this one made it on to a flight from houston. the tsa tells abc news that the 25,000 breaches, many of which it characterized as minor,r, represent a tiny fraction of 1% of the billions of passengers screened at the nation's 450 airports since 9/11. quote, many of these instances were thwarted or discovered in the act and, quote, airports today are safer than ever before." >> only one security breach can be catastrophically fatal. >> reporter: now, all of this will be scrutinized today before a house subcommittee on national security. the chairman representing them told me hehe c ccerned about the fact that more than 900,000
7:05 am
people have clearances to get into the secure or restricted areas of the airport. he wants to make sure those folks have been checked out carefully enough. george? >> okay, lisa, thanks. to the latest in the debt limit showdown. remember thahaaugust 2nd is the day america's credit line runs out, but the washington talks to extend that limit are deadlocked which could create chaos in financial markets and real costs for every american. last night for the first time president obama warned that social security recipients might not get their august checks. >> i cannot guarantee that those checks go out on august 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to o it. >> given what's going on in europe something could spook the market and missing august 2nd could spook the market and you could have a real catastrophe. nobody wants that to happen. >> with that let me bring in our team covering it this morning. jake tapper, jon karl on capitol hill. jon, given the deadlock, the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell says he doesn't think a deal can be reached, so he's come up with a last-ditch
7:06 am
fallback which puts the burden on the president. >> reporter: last choice option, only if the talks completely collapse. it's complicated but the bottom line is, it would give the president the auththity on his own to gradually raise that debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion between now and the election. the political burden is all the president's. he can do it without spending cuts and even in the face of opposition from the majority in congress. but i've got to tell you, george i talked to a lot of republicans in the house, rank and file, who say it's not acceptable. they want real spending cut, a lot of them and nothing else. >> there's no guarantee of spending cuts even though it would avoid tax increases. let me bring in jake tapper for the response on that. any openness in the white house to that and where do they think the talks are right now? are they as pessimistic as mr. mcconnelel >> reporter: well, mcconnell's deal sent two signals to the white house, one, good news to them, republicans are serious about trying to avoid defaulting on the debt, but the second one is that there are some republicans that would rather have no deal at all, no spending
7:07 am
cuts at all than either -- than if it required raising taxes even one dollar. as for the status right now, staff members for the white house and congressional leaders are trying to work on what from those biden deals about a trillion dollars in spending cuts not from entitlement cuts not tax increases, but about a trillion dollars in spending cuts they can agree on and reconvene at 4:00. >> that is not nearly enough for the republicans right now in the house. >> reporter: no, not at all. in fact, many of the real rank and file in the house say they want trillions of dollars in cuts, they think that is more important. the bigger problem being government spending than fear of default. they would rather face default than not get spending cuts. >> on another subject. real news from the president on his presidential campaign this morning. >> reporter: that's right. they set the goal for the obama 2012 goal, dnc of $60 million. they far surpassed it, $86 million for more than 500,000 donors. average donation, $69.
7:08 am
>> that is almostt triple what all the republicans have raised. jake and jon, thanks very much. all right, george, going to switch gears here because today the national resesurant association is unveiling a new initiative that's billed as providing healthier choices for kids at the nation's fast food restaurants. 19 major fast food chains are participating including burger king, chili's, ihop and friendly's. abc's medical editor, dr. b., dr. richard besser, is going to break it down for us. what's the main points? >> this is really great news. giving parents choices. the big change is that on menus that participate in this program there will be meals with at least one combination of -- that has 600 calories or less and with that, the side dish will have to be 200 calories or less more than that, looking at the types of foods, to make sure they're in line with the
7:09 am
guidelines, increased fruits and vegetables. lean protein, whole grains and low fat dairy. >> choices are good. options are good, but the difference, what's the real difference here? >> well, you know, that's the big question. there is a recent study out of yale and looked at 20 fast food chains, there were 3,3,0 different combinations of kids' food. only 27 of thehemet the kind of guidelines we're talking about here. the big issue is will they be promoting these healthy guidelines, or will it just be one item on the menu and kids are still going for the fries. >> kind of related is getting a lot of buzz. "the journal of the american medical association," a piece where harvard doctors are suggesting if you have a child that is really obese, that that child should be taken from their parents and put into foster care. what do you think about that? >> absolutely not. you know, demonizing parents is not the way to go. let's go after the companies that are marketing to children all this junk food. let's go after the schools that are getting rid of gym classes let's go looking at neighborhoods where your only
7:10 am
choice for food is fast food. before you start talking about taking a child away from their parents, absolutely not. >> does a parent have any responsibility, though? >> yes, of course, they're part of the problem, but bring someone to work with parents. >> educate them. >> and take a look at the foster care system before you think about putting more kids in that system. >> there are 2 million obese children in the u.s. can you imagine if they were going into foster care. >> hopefully this will help with the conversation. but it's not the solution. >> it is a conversation that you'll have on twitter. i'm sure people will ask you about that actually, thank you. >> okay, robin, thanks. our new report out on casey anthony this morning. she may be changing her name and disguising herself after she leaves jail on sunday. "the chicago sun-times" says she's considered plastic surgery and ashleigh banfield has been on the case every step of the way. there are real concerns for her safety. >> i did speak with her lead attorney. he hasn't mentioned anything like that. he said i'm not telling you what our plans are because this is one of the best-kept secrets and
7:11 am
probably for her own good. meantime, the investigators who worked for three years, blood, sweat and tears looking for evidence, looking for the truth, finally spoke to the press about their feelings about this verdict. with a giant photo of caylee anthony beside them investigators gathered to discuss the case one last time. the photo, said the sheriff, should remind everyone what this case was truly about. >> the father and the grandfather -- i have a 3-year-old granddaughter, it is disturbing to me. i wouldn't wish what happened to him on any parent. >> reporter: while the verdict sparked outrage, the detectives were stoic. they stood by their case, but accepted the outcome. >> i certainly don't have any doubt. we worked very hard on this case. i think all of us respected the jury system and we respect the jury's verdict. >> reporter: lead investigator yuri melich was calm, a far cry from the frantic voice on tape interrogating a lying casey anthony.
7:12 am
>> what happened to -- >> i don't know. >> sure, you do. her rotten body is starting to decompose because everything you've told us we've locked you into a lie. >> to this day i'm still surprised she didn't come off -- she wouldn't tell us the truth and that's all we were after was the truth. >> reporter: prosecutors are officially declining to pursue a perjury case against cindy anthony for what she said on the stand. >> i started looking up and that prompted me to look up chloroform. >> reporter: but the legal troubles continue for casey. the people behind the massive search for caylee filed suit against her saying she admitted in court that caylee was never missing but died in the backyard pool. they want to recoup the $112,000 they spent searching for nothing. and some exclusive information this morning from the prosecutors' office about conversations the jurors were having behind closed doors.
7:13 am
apparently, they weren't too thrilled with prosecutors saying good morning to them in court like the defense did every day, but for their part, the prosecutors are saying they've received thousands of e-mails and letters and they have not come across one that is disappointed with their work. >> they complained about the "good morning?" >> this is honestly from those who watch over the jurors. it was reported to the prosecutors. >> okay, ashleigh, thanks very much. >> good morning, josh. what do you got? >> good morning, george, robin and ashleigh. weweegin with breaking news today. authorities in turkey say they've captured 15 suspects that were part of an alleged al qaeda plot in the turkish captain tall. police say they seized 1,5,000 pounds of bombmaking. meanwhile, a federal appeals court is citing the tucson shooting suspect jared loughner ruling he cannot be forced to
7:14 am
take anti-psychotic drugs that could harm him. the court says that trumps the prosecution's attempt to yield off schizophrenia until he's convicted at trial. rupert murdoch's company is considering selling all of its british newspapers in the wake of that massive phone hacking and bribery y andal. and also this morning, we just got word that murdoch has withdrawn his bid to buy the british sky networking in the wake of the scandal surrounding his other media holdings. a couple fishermen off the california coast got a little more action than they bargained for. home video shows them reeling in a thresher shark. and as you're about to see, and perhaps not surprisingly, things didn't go quite as planned. scotty westguard and david saldamando of santa barbara describe themselves as hard-core anglers.
7:15 am
but this takes hard core to a new level. >> all of a sudden, that reel starts screaming and there's no sound like a reel screaming to get you excited. >> reporter: struggling for more than half an hour he finally reeled in this eight-foot-long thresher shark grabbing the tail head down but then the shark strikes back. >> got to lean away. lean away. >> right then the shark just bucks and i cannot get e eugh leverage to do anything about it so it just flipped me instantly and i was in the water. >> reporter: overboard you can see the shark dangerously close. >> once you're in the water it's a whole different scenario. you can see that shot of that shark dangling below him. at any moment that shark could have arched up and taken his achilles out, a calf, a thigh. >> reporter: david managed to scramble back into his kayak, a little embarrassed but not hurt. and so would have ended my angling and kayaking career.
7:16 am
as a frequenter off the waters off of santa barbara, that's what you don't do. at least not in a kayak. >> hey, sam. >> hey, good morning, george, robin, a good of good weather news. our heat wave has been snapped in half. from yesterday where it's bad it's very, very bad. owensboro, kentucky, heat index of 123. it's basically impossible for you to cool down your body at a heat index level like that. here's where the heat is roaring today. the cold front got halfway into the nation so memphis, 117. your heat index, new orleans, your heat index, 111. still dangerous bad numbers but here's where it's much better, green bay, detroit, chicago, pittsburgh, new york city, it is gorgeous in times square right now. we'll have all the nation's weather in the next half hour.
7:17 am
>> yesterday, 24 states had heat warnings or advisories, today, 11. robin? >> glad it's down. thank you.

7:35 am
away. luckily for carmichael who already caught three baseballs his brother and friends were able to reach him in time and pull him back to safety. and we are joined by keith carmickle along with his brother craig. i'm watching you watch that video again. you don't blink. you're shaking your head. can you believe it happened? >> it happened and it's very disturbing to watch right now. after what happened to the stone fami family. thanks for my brother, friends being there when they were. you know, using bad judgment on my part. >> what were you thinking? >> in the moment. people -- i don't think they understand home run derby is a pretty big thing. watching people, sports memorabilia, watching people
